So you admit that exclusives are a deciding factor when purchasing a console?

Would you buy a console with no exclusives?

 

Exclusives are part of it but there are also other things I look at.

 I am a mutliplayer so the online service is huge. Things like the OS and controller are also things that are important.  

The quality of free games that comes with the online sub is very important because for me that is where the majority of my games will come from. 

Consoles will always have exclusives. I do not see a day when all consoles will have the exact same games.

I agree with you except about the free games, I paid for online on 360 and am accustomed to paying for it on PS4. I see how that could be a problem for people though

Exclusives do matter. Cause if it say the x1 had no exclusives but had only 3rd party games but ps4 has both exclusives and third party games, then why would anyone buy an x1?

Console A) Has Third Parties
Console B) Has Exclusives and Third Parties

Gee, I wonder which one I would choose...

Having exclusives and third parties is what really sells the console and that is why PS is at the top. The question should be, why do people buy an x1 when exclusives are available on PC? And the answer is cause the x1 is cheaper than a PC.

So the question when Scorpio comes out will be, what will the price be compared to it's performance value? I say if it costs $500, the value won't be there for a lot of people for a number of reasons. If it costs $400-$450, the value for gaming should be there compared to buying a PC for gaming with a top end i3 + 1060 if you are really on a budget and like the xbox experience. And I think that is what MS will be banking on when it comes to Scorpio.
